Portorosa's waters, in practice

Sicily’s north coast facing the Aeolian islands, seven volcanoes set on the Tyrrhenian. Wind-wise: manageable Tyrrhenian breezes in summer, the inter-island passages kicking up a short sea in a maestrale.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Portorosa marina and its canals, the main charter base for the Aeolians. The local classics: Vulcano and its fumaroles, Lipari and Salina, and Stromboli whose “sciara del fuoco” is best watched at night. High season: from June to September, the UNESCO archipelago best explored by the week.
